PC upgrades were a saga. Got a defective motherboard where only one slot was fully working, so that took me 6 hours of trying things until I concluded it was borked.

Bought a different board while I go through a return on the first. That got me right past the RAM problem, but it was shutting down every time I tried to configure DKMS for Nvidia drivers. Turns out it was tripping a power threshold. Put another 4 hours down for that.

Next day grabbed a new PSU, got the Nvidia drivers fixed, and now everything's running smoothly.

Except Baldur's Gate 3, which was really chopping until I turned off VSync. Then it's buttery.

Ah, the fun of PC upgrades. I've been fortunate in not receiving any defective parts so far. One of my biggest concerns.

Retros abandoned new IP has been revealed.

While Namco was making Prime 4 they were doing a new music rpg where the main character singing would be the main mechanic.

It was a disaster. So they were flipped to remaster prime and then do prime 4.

What can they do in Minecraft 2 that will actually make it feel like a sequel?

I just watched Nvidia show their new cards, i'll be getting one, not the super one. The PC i built has worked great so here is hoping it stays that way. Still PC gaming in general is so fickle, weird shit happens all the time.

Well ended up in the ER for back pain now one of my legs went numb for 4 hours so far.

Yikes, definetly have a pinched nerve. Hopefully its not something that will require surgery. Back pain is the worst.

For hidden weapons and stuff that's fine. But they actually hide things you need to progress the level. Once you've cleared out all the enemies it feels like a big escape room game.

90s PC level design, how I will never miss you. I have no clue what they were doing back then but me coming from a Nintendo focused background to those PC games like that one, or the Star Wars games, I have no idea where they learned to make levels.

So Switch 2 next week? Or later this week? the controller is leaked, everything is leaked. There is nothing left, show the damn thing aready.

[eurogamer.net]Eurogamer's Top 50 of 2024 (Ranked) Number 50 is Plucky Squire.

Has anyone here played the Plucky Squire?  It looks superb.  It's available on Switch, but I fear that the humble handheld won't do it's visual style justice and it hasn't released on Xbox One.

It has recieved mixed reviews. Too hand holdy and too much repetition is the main complaint. I'll check it out when it goes on sale.

Notch is delusional if he think MS would let him get within 100 metres of Minecraft.  He'll make his own Craftmine and it will either reveal his genius or be a emporer has no clothes situation.  Foolz' and my articles on Minecraft: Game Under Podcast's Top 10 Games of the 2010's - Number 1 — Game Under Podcast

Dr. Vader us in the house. Yep, most likely from what I've read. Had the scan today and waiting for Doctor to review and call. Thanks to all for well wishes.  An update:

- ER could not see me after 4 hours and I was in so much pain I had to leave. Travelled 2 hours to the next closest ER this morning through level 10 pain and had a great experience - saw doctor in ten minutes. Bottom line, I cannot sit for more than 2 minutes without insane pain. Leg is still numb. They think I won;t be able to run, lift or sit for 8 weeks, but waiting for final verdict on that. Sad They at least gave me the good drugs, so back pain is releived as long as that lasts, but my leg is still a peice of Blu-Tak gettig jammed all over the place because I cannot feel anything LOL  Now I have to figure out how to use Steamdeck standing.

Also have to figure out how to not get additional injuries from standing all the time,

There appears to be an optical mouse sensor built into the joycons so you can drag it around like a mouse on a mouse pad.

If custom PC builds were not a pain we would not get the satisfaction out of it. Happy

The anger, adrenalin, dissapointment, panic, soft realisation that we may have been the problem, recovery then joy -- it's like Kubler-Ross' seven stages of loss. Actually, looking at that, that summarizes all relationship breakups I've gone through! Happy

Switch version reviewed pretty well. Try the switchup video review.

Quick question many months/years later.


huntdown-5145927.jpg

Has anyone tried Huntdown yet?

Second thing, I was playing Doom 2016 on a 1080p tv last night and it looked pretty great. Usually you can't beat the small OLED screen or 2k on the big tv with Mclassic.

I got 2 new rifles.

I put off buying this game for so long because I thought it looked too blurry and I'd rather play it on a more powerful system. But a few minutes in and those thoughts melt away, it's smooth, the motion controls are great and it looks pretty great, albeit with a softer image quality  compared to Crysis 2 remastered or Metroid Prime remastered.

Lights dynamically cast on the environment, materials look great, there are surface reflections everywhere and my favourite thing is mist.and steam hanging in the air. Very atmospheric.

How are you supposed to use the chainsaw? I've been shooting, then running in to finish with the chainsaw. Does anyone just run in with a chainsaw?

There are times when Doom 2016 reveals how shallow it is.

Usually in a square or rectangular room it locks you in. You can basically keep running in a circle, or square shape around the whole area. As long as you don't stop you rarely get hit and can run up to and point blank kill enemies.

Other fps would punish you for blindly running about.
